Wireless print server issues with 2 computers

[csudougie]

I have a Linksys wireless print server with one USB port. I have a Canon MP460 hooked to it. My laptop is XP with wireless and communicates fine with the printer.

However, I also have a Vista desktop. When I tried connecting with the WiFi on that, I get errors saying a Virtual USB port can be established. Is this a Vista issue?

My main question is, do they make USB splitters that can run from the printer and split one end into the print server and the other end into the vista machine directly? Any help is appreciated.

You need a USB switch. This may be the solution to allow you to share a USB device with 2 separate machines. NewEgg has one for sale:
